Description John Skopis 2011-01-18 18:09:45 CET
Summary: After migrating to xfconf during a 4.4 -> 4.8 my panel config was no longer working. Panel-0 and Panel-1 were both displayed on monitor0.

Steps to reproduce:
1) copy panel0 to panel1: modify ~/.config/xfce4/panel/panels.xml, copying the entire <panel> tag, in the second instance change panel.properties.property[monitor] to '1' instead of '0'

2) enjoy "mirrored" panels between monitor 0 and monitor 1

3) upgrade to 4.8, run the configuration migrator

4) notice panel0 and panel1 are displayed on monitor0

At this point I deleted panel1 and "streched" panel0. >=|


Maybe there should be an option to 'mirror' all panels across each monitor?

Could you attach the old panel config file?

Yeah monitor setup was not properly migrated; should be fixed in 6485131. Thanks for the config file.
